Hematoxylin-eosin staining of rat colonic and liver tissue from each group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of colonic and liver tissue of rats from the natural control (NC, (a, e)), high-fat diet (HFD, (b, f)), high-fat recovery (HFD+SPR, (c, g)), and chlorogenic acid treatment (HFD+CGA, (d, h)) groups. Stained colonic and liver tissue sections were photographed using a Mingmei ML31 biomicroscope under 10x and 40x objective lens.
